possible for any manufacturer TO get an
advance over last years prices.

The Trucklng Intsrent..

THE lands adjacent to Richmond, said
a gentleman to-day, "are more varied than
in any other section of this great country. !"
This fact he mentioned when discussing the
matter oftrucking. The gentleman referred
to has given this subject much study and
consideration and he thinks that the lands
adjacent to Richmond in some localities are
particularly well adapted for truck farms.
1t is an evident fact that truck farms in the
counties adjacent to Richmond are being
worked very profitsbly.
1t is only since the war that any attempt
was made IN this direction. 1t is now
grown to be very profitable business. as
persons who have travelled about the coun-
try near by can attest, To truck farmers
Richmond offers unusual facilities. The
markets of New York, Philadelphia and
Boston can be quickly reached and the
freight rates are considered reasonable.
There are many lands near Richmond Of
a sandy loan, suitable for trucking that
will compare favorably with the best truck
lands IN the vicinity of Norfolk and ia New
Jersey. The county Of Hanover has dis
played in the last few years wonderful tact
in the matter Of good roads leading to the
city of Richmond, and the truck farmers are
corresponGingly benefited thereby
Are the truck farmers prospering?'' was
asked weli-known Richmond real estate
agent who is familiar with every foot Of
Elouno Nlth1n radlus Of thirty miles Of
Richmond
Indeed they arr" was the reply. .sThe
truck lands respond very well to the pIow,
to manure and fertilizers. and much of it is
exceedingly rich. ] look forward" said he,
ITO big boom in the trucking business
around Richmond. A truck farm and a
dairy farm can go hand in hand. and the
men who are engaging in that sort of bust
ness can make money If they do their best -
Judging from what has been done in the
past few years the counties adjacent to Rich
mond are destined to take q stand in the
front rank for hne truck farms, and ere long

Dominion can boast Of stock farms Of the

RICHMOND AS A HOME.


What is the cost of living in Rich
mond ?" was asked of a gentleman re-
cognised as one in every way well qualified
to give satisfactory answer for those who
may contemplate making Richmond their
future home and at the same time prove in
teresting to those already residents of this
beautiful city. In reply to his query the re-
porter received the following answer:
"Of course, the cost of living can be made
as large III Richmond as any other place !;
just according to the taste and wealth at
hand. do not think you want to know
how large the amount can be made for lv
ing in Richmond, but what would be the
cost for respectable livelihood-not sub
sistence.' BY the last annual report of the
Superintendent of the Aimshouse it cost the
city of Richmond S102.17 per head per am
mum for maintaining those unable to help
themselves. Now, TO take a case between
the pauper and the millionaire, for an illus
tration, would be the proper standard upon
which to make an estimate. The first thing
to be considered is rent. You can rent
a nice house for a small family for
ST per month. There are many beau
tiful houses, containing from five to
eight rooms, and in from fifteen to twenty
five MINUTES walk from business, and In
from two to six squares of the street car line,
renting for the above amount. Your gas
and water will cost you together about 50
per month. Wood and coal will take about
So of your money during the same period
Now, your marketing aud grocery bill will
consume for the month nearly all of $50.
Your washing and cooking will probably
foot up SIS or $40; but call it So per month.
Your shoes and clothes will consume all
of $40, judiciously and closely expended.
Ali ofthese sums are moderate save two-coal
and wood, IS, and washing and cooking, So.
"A mans wife may save some in these
two items, but If the work of washing and
cooking is not performed by the wife you
will find the estimates are placed at the min
imum. This calculation is based upon ac-
tual experience and of man with wife
and three children. To live on this amount
allows no room for luxuries or extravaganza.
but requires the constant care of wife with
rare judgment9o make both ends meet.
Am free to admit that many live ON less
than the above amount and save money.
and it is an interesting study to know how
they do it. | know an official, re-
ceiving only 1928 per day, with a
family of ten to support, who has sent his
children to private school and saved
money enough in twelve years to b,lv two
houses and four lots worth somewhere be-
tween $1,000 and 5000. Yet what pleasure
can man derive from the accumulation Of
wealth upon returning home, after hard
days work, to find his wife in a washtub,

Messrs. Gordon, Strobel & Laureau, the
celebrated engineering firm of Philadelphia
are the contractors for this work, and it is
being rapidly pushed to completion under
the supervision of their energetic engineer,
Mr.. Walter Nj. Stein
Five years after the war there were eight
furnaces and forty nail-machines and no
bar-iron was manufactured at these works
To-day there are forty pudding furnaces,
100 nail.machines, and the capacity for bar
iron is sixty tons per twenty-four hours.
The new bessener steel plant will cover
nearly one-half of an acre, and will be of
sufficient capacity to manufacture 200 tons
of steel per day. There is not an industry
OF this kind in operation at this time south
of the Potomac; so Richmond is the
pioneer in this industry as well as in many
others. Capt. r. 4, Blankenship, president
OF the Old Dominion Nail Works, is the
originator of this scheme.
